Hi Christian.

When we proposed this module (as a replacement for gt-widgets-swing)  
the idea was to take it offline to unsupported for a few months and  
put back only what we ended up using.  My understanding was that were  
were going to focus on examples rather then test coverage and we have  
spent out time accordingly.

Christian could I ask you to help set up a swing test framework; I  
have no recent experience in this area.
